Im sad to hear Geddon got off. I think he could have gained immensely from pushing on despite his slow pace. Glad straw pushed on though.

A bunch of us hikers have been holed up here in Damscus for like 5 days and were happy to hear it was a lack of communication rather than a real safety issue. The story seemed a little funny so it...

Well, this will be my last log on before I leave. So I will be arriving at 9 am or so in Gainesville. Walkin from there. Hopefully I hump it all out on tuesday in to the night so I can wake up close...

If you buy your Greyhound ticket 2 weeks in advance it is quite cheap.

Check my sig.I have owned everything I need for a year. But heck, Ill spend a few days or even a week people watching on the approach trail. Even if I don't find a single stuff sack, it will be a...

Totally jealous

Im going to do the approach trail, but only because im hoping to score some abandoned gear. I dont think abandoned gear is as common as it was after "the Bryson effect" but as an experienced hiker 8...

There will be more people on the trail.

It will not be cheaper.

Big Agnes Seedhouse SL2

Plenty of room for you, gear, and a wet dog. Not too much weight either.

Ok. 4 rich organic farmers(their actual occupation) who wear corduroy and goofy hats gave me 20 bucks.

Having more money than you could ever need would seem to me to be the best way to stay on the trail.

In a few years when I get a better budget I plan to attempt to beat the 60 day record for unsupported backpacking. I feel like as long as I had the money to constantly have new socks, shoes and the...
